i've been trying to download songs that are popular and they have a large number of hits and 4 stars or better it won't ever download... it would say connecting and then say need more sources...

when i try to browse anybody's computer it says the same thing...

here is my set up right now:
1. OS version? Windows XP 64
2. What firewalls you have? I think I have two. One in windows and then the router itself
3. How much ram? 1 gig
4. Hard Disk space available? 250 gb
5. Connection type? Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? LynkSys router BEFS41
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? [B******[/B]
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? LimeWire 4.12.6 Pro Java 1.5.0_06
9. Who is your ISP provider? Roadrunner
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? Yes, one other computer.
11. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.
yes this works

* Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml
i configured the windows one


12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False
the result is false

13. Do a speed test post the results here.

6692kbps download
479 kbps upload

If UPnP is enabled in LW (see LW>Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall) then you might have to portforward for your router.
Somewhere here in this thread under connection problems -click first there should be explained how to do so (or at least a link to the appropriate website to do it):
